Jang Keun-suk’s net worth is estimated at $30 million as of November 2026. By his late twenties he owned two Gangnam buildings bought for a combined 29.8 billion won, about 21 billion of it borrowed, and the rent was close to 100 million won monthly.

How much is Jang Keun-suk worth in 2026?
About $30 million, by our estimate. The base is the 55 billion won property total from 2020, less the bank loans reported when he bought his two buildings, plus our assumption about savings from a decade of Japanese record sales and Korean dramas. We hold the property at its 2020 value because no later valuation has been published. We convert won at about 1,340 to the dollar, the rate Trading Economics reported on November 9, 2026.
How we got to $30 million
| Source | Our estimate | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|
| Real estate, 2020 value | $41.0 million | A KBS survey in October 2020 put his holdings at 55 billion won. Held at that figure, with no rise assumed, at 1,340 won. |
| Bank loans | minus $15.7 million | About 6 billion won borrowed on the Cheongdam-dong building and about 15 billion won on the Samsung-dong building, per 2015 estimates: 21 billion won. We assume none of it has been repaid, which is cautious. |
| Cash and savings from music and acting | $5.2 million | Our assumption, since no earnings were disclosed. About $25 million of pre-tax income since the mid-2000s from dramas, ads, two number-one Japanese singles and 30 Japanese concerts in 2013 to 2015, kept at 55 percent after Korea’s 45 percent top income tax band: $13.75 million. Less the roughly 8.8 billion won of his own money that went into the two buildings, about $6.6 million at today’s rate, and $2 million of spending: $5.2 million. Rent after loan interest is left out because the current leases are unknown. |
| Total | $30.5 million | Rounded to $30 million. |
Two buildings, mostly on credit
In January 2011 he bought a building in Cheongdam-dong, near Gangnam-gu Office station, for 8.5 billion won and renamed it after his agency, Tree J. In November 2014 he signed for a building in Samsung-dong at 21.3 billion won, owned 95% by him and 5% by a family member, Money Today reported. A savings bank leased the whole Samsung-dong building on a long contract at 70 million won a month plus a 3 billion won deposit. The Cheongdam building added roughly 30 million won on top.
Our calculation: of the 29.8 billion won he paid for the two, about 21 billion won, or 70%, was borrowed. The roughly 100 million won in monthly rent comes to about 1.2 billion won a year, around $900,000 at today’s rate, before interest and tax, on perhaps 9 billion won of his own money.
The Japan years
The equity came from a rare run in Japan. His debut single there, Let Me Cry, entered the Oricon singles chart at number one in April 2011 with 119,149 copies in its first week, according to his Wikipedia biography. The 2012 single Just Crazy topped the weekly chart with 88,009 copies, and he followed it with a 14-concert Zepp tour in 2013 and 2014 and a 16-concert tour in 2015. His duo Team H sold well in Hong Kong too. Those years overlap almost exactly with the two building purchases.
Back on screen in 2026
He completed his military service as a social service worker from July 2018 to May 2020. In 2026 he was cast in the variety show Six Singles Under One Roof, joined Director’s Arena as a judge and signed to star in the drama Hyupban. Earlier, in 2025, he gave 100 million won to wildfire recovery. His agency is now CRAFT_42 Entertainment.
Why other estimates disagree
The 55 billion won survey figure, quoted in Soompi’s October 2020 summary, is a gross property value. Estimates that convert it straight to dollars, at the 2020 exchange rate, skip the roughly 21 billion won in loans and land well above ours.
What would move the figure
A sale or a fresh appraisal of either building would replace our 2020 value. Gangnam prices have moved since then, and the Samsung-dong lease with the savings bank ran to 2020, so the current rent is unknown. Fees from Hyupban would add to the savings row.
